One of the younger member's of the Rankin family first noticed the cat and alerted her parents to it. The family tried to get the attention of the driver of the other car so that they would stop and let the cat get down.
😱 WHOA! A friend shared this video of a cat riding on top of this van going 60 mph on I-480 between Martha & Farnam in Omaha Friday around 8:30 p.m. People in the van had no idea! "They were shocked and scared! They immediately pulled over.” Anyone know what happened to cat? 🙀 pic.twitter.com/b4xWxaqu3W

How did a cat get onto the roof of the car? And where is its owner?
It turns out the wily cat belongs to Michelle Criger, who was also the driver of the car. Michelle told local news that her cat, fittingly named Rebel, was prone to "take off and do whatever he wants".
It was two miles (about 3 kilometers) before Michelle was able to pull over and check that her cat was safe which, thankfully, he was.
